Chapter 1: Captured

Percy and Annabeth were summoned to Chiron's office for a mission.

"We've received reports from a satyr that there's a demigod at Ridgewood Reform School. Apparently, the satyr needs help to retrieve the boy, so I'm sending you two. Be careful. Supposedly, he's dangerous." Percy high doubted that the boy was as dangerous as the satyr had reported, but he didn't voice his opinion. He and Annabeth left on a chariot drawn by pegasi, Annabeth driving.

Nikolai Samhain hopped over the school's high fence quickly, making it just before the end of the thirty seconds it took the cameras to turn to the blind spot. He pushed the bang of his platinum blonde hair out of his face as he examined the walls of the school's dingy, tiny alleyway between the buildings. Feeling along the wall, he eventually found the loose, slightly paler brick he was looking for and pried it loose. A sinister grin spread across his face as he pulled the two hunting knives and the switchblade from their hiding spot. Nikolai ran through the small space, emerging on the rarely used side of the school. All of the other students were in their classes, where he should have been, so no one was around to see him hop over the tall, spiked fence with skill and ease, running as fast as he could away from the school.

Nikolai only stopped once he was far enough away from the school, waiting at the bus stop so he could leave the damn school and go to his hideout to wait for his cousin. As he stood there, silver eyes flickering around, watching for cops or security guards from the school, Nikolai noticed a strange, elderly woman standing a few feet away from him. He had seen her around Ridgewood several times, always watching him, so he was anxious to get on the bus and far away from her. She glared at him and scowled.

"It's time for you to come with me." He didn't even get to ask what she was talking about. The woman transformed into a terrifying monster he immediately recognized as a Fury. The Fury flew at him, aiming to grab him with her talons. Nikolai didn't budge, he just pulled out his hunting knives and blocked her talons, being knocked back a good couple of feet as a result. He bolted up and dodged her next blow, trying to cut her with a knife as he dodged. The steel didn't cut nearly as deep as he would have liked and the wound only served to enrage the Fury even more. The Fury shoved Nikolai against the wall of a brick building, grinning ghoulishly. "No more games. You're mine now." A black haired teen suddenly dropped down from the sky, cutting the Fury in half with his sword. Nikolai wasted no time. He tackled the boy and pinned him to the ground, a hunting knife at the boy's throat. A golden chariot drawn by two, white and black pegasi landed near them, a blonde girl with gray eyes jumping out. Without so much as a glance in her direction, he flung his switchblade at her. The girl blocked the knife with one of her own, smirking.

"That was very well aimed. We're here to help you, so release Percy." Nikolai pressed his knife closer to Percy's neck, scowling.

"I don't know that for sure." He growled out, but put the knife away. Before Annabeth could even move, Nikolai knocked Percy out and threw Riptide at Annabeth. She easily dodged it, but turned and saw that Nikolai was gone. Damn, he's good, but I'm better. Annabeth would have pursued him, but there was no need to. A few minutes later, Nikolai was thrown to the ground in front of the chariot, tied up with a rope and disarmed, by Beckendorf. Beckendorf held Percy and their prisoner as they got onto the chariot and flew back to Camp Half-blood. Surprisingly, Nikolai didn't react at all to being kidnapped and flown to the camp via a pegasi drawn chariot. However, the second they landed in the camp, he pulled his ropes off and made a break for it.

"Stop him!" Annabeth yelled, chasing after Nikolai. Nikolai jumped over and dodged campers as he ran for the entrance he had seen as they flew there. If I can get out of this camp, then I'll be able to find a way to hide. A large group of teens in armor blocked his path, led by a very intimidating girl with a bronze sword.

"Don't kill him Clarisse!" Percy yelled, having just woken up and caught up to them. Nikolai scowled. He was fully surrounded with no weapons and no way out.

"Out of my way." He growled out, and Clarisse scowled.

"Like hell we're moving." Nikolai tackled an Ares boy, wrestling and managing to steal the boy's sword away. He held the blade like an expert, glaring at Clarisse.

"Bring it." She charged at him and he blocked her attack, parrying her moves and nearly delivering many of his own. It was almost like watching two experts dual, but, in the end, Clarisse was more experienced. She managed to slip underneath Nikolai's defenses and she almost stabbed him in the stomach. Almost. Nikolai dodged to the right, feeling the blood the blade had been able to draw before he was able to move. He tried to stand, but his legs gave out from under him. A strange tremor was moving up his body, and Nikolai was suddenly seeing images of a strange, dark creature. Annabeth, Percy, and Clarisse could only watch as the boy started trembling, and then blacked out.

"What did you do to him?" Percy asked, but Clarisse shook her head.

"I only grazed him. I don't know what the rest of that was about."

"We need to get him to the infirmary." Percy picked the other teen up and carried him into the infirmary, wondering what could have made him pass out.

I hope you liked it. I hadn't thought that my first real fanfic would be for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, but it just happened. Review please. You know you want to...
